Publisher Description At a time when historical and cultural analyses are being subjected to all manner of ideological and disciplinary prodding and poking, the work of Max Weber, the brilliant social theorist and one of the most creative intellectual forces in the twentieth century, is especially relevant. In this significant study, Fritz Ringer offers a new approach to the work of Weber, interpreting his methodological writings in the context of the lively German intellectual debates of his day. According to Ringer, Weber was able to bridge the intellectual divide between humanistic interpretation and causal explanation in historical and cultural studies in a way that speaks directly to our own time, when methodological differences continue to impede fruitful cooperation between humanists and social scientists. In the place of the humanists subjectivism and the social scientists naturalism, Weber developed the flexible and realistic concepts of objective probability and adequate causation.Grounding technical theories in specific examples, Ringer has written an essential text for all students of Weber and of social theory in the humanities and social sciences. Fully reconstructed, Max Webers methodological position in fact anticipated the most fruitful directions in our own contemporary philosophies of the cultural and social sciences. Ringers conceptualization of Webers approach and achievement elucidates Webers reconciliation of interpretive understanding and causal explanation and shows its relevance to intellectual life and culture in Webers own time and in ours as well. Author Biography Fritz Ringer was Mellon Professor of History at the University of Pittsburgh and author of The Decline of the German Mandarins and Fields of Knowledge.
